Ah yes, a malicious die in an omg cable, the cable meant for malicious activities, malicious activitie's cable.

I too have a small package with malicious intentions.
- Too bad it keeps getting rejected by every interface.
  
  False, i only get denied on my first choice of an interface. Unless it's my birthday. I keep trying though and getting rejected... maybe you are right.
- It's a pentesting tool

I do miss being able to stick a bit of tape the 2 middle pins of a USP A port to create a charge only cable. Usb-C port makes that hard.
- At least USB condoms are cheap
